Why Is Returning to Work After Long‑Term Illness Important?
Protects Workers: Ensures a structured, supportive return reduces health risks and promotes recovery.
Improves Productivity: A well‑managed return minimises absenteeism and maintains operational flow.
Compliance with Regulations: The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires employers to review risk assessments, while the Equality Act 2010 mandates reasonable adjustments.
